Individual sub competition and stage pages coming with specific rules? I know there are going to be lots of questions, as usual...

The stage pages can be found in the roadmap section.

I'll add them to the front page when Computex week is over

Is there a possible way to pull my teams top score for each bench in the team cup? An easy way to keep our forum thread updated with current results and which categories have no result?

Thanks.

good idea

Is it allowed to add old scores to the cup or only new ones?

Only new my friend, and don't forget the comp wallpaper.

Ah, I'll add a note to the stages with validation scores that validation time must be within the competition timeframe

Correct me if I'm wrong but the WRs in the % OC parts are calculated diffrently from the competition entrys. 307% should be 207% or add 100 on the competition entrys.

^^ This, I posted it in the CPU section too

Fixed it now

I'm seeing a lot of subs that are missing the official background in the screen shot.

Is it not required?

Quick question guys: since there are SO MANY overclocking competitions going on right now, would it make sense to prolong the Team Cup competition for another 14 days or even a month until the end of September?

I personally would like that since I'm away on vacation now and won't be back until august 24

This would definitely help guys who want to compete for MOA.

i vote for end of september

First , fix the labels over the prizes , in the competition page.

Then do a poll with the top 10 teams (at the moment) of the competition , to decide about the length of the Team Cup.

We will expand by 1 week the elimination stage and then we will have 1 week in september for the finals ?

Extending it until the end of September doesn't sound bad to me.

Would be awesome

Ending it today would be ok with us.

end of september would be ok to me, too.

Ending it today would be ok with us.

what a surprise

@Massman

For not having misunderstandings later...

I think all teams would like to know the end of competition.

So response to a proposal the end of team cup is 15 of September or end of September?

This ^^

If it's going to get extended then I'd rather know sooner rather than later so I can get some supplies in to have a go at another stage.

LN2 really is a luxury I cannot afford regularly at the moment

Good point. I'll update this week, but I assume we'll extend to the end of September (so one month extra - yeey!)

Yay, 1 extra month for people to buy mobile celeron 1.2s

Hah, not sure if anyone will find a better one. Yours is pretty darn crazy!

When people actually get them, you'd be shocked at how easy it will be to beat it 300+FSB on air is no problem.

Hop, Hellas taking the lead!

Hop, Hellas taking the lead!

We got another month. Time to hold up a little.

classicplatforms takes the lead back

I'm so glad that the time got extended for another month, I only have 1 day off a week and I usually spend that doing something with friends.

I have about 7-8 stages I still need to bench for too so don't rule out OCN just yet

Go HwBox Hellas Go!

A heads-up based on some emails I received. Even though the rules state that the hardware must be released before June 1 (the start of the competition), I think we can just allow the 4790K/4690K/G3258 no problem. They don't give a benefit in any of the stages since the overclocking capability is pretty much that of their counterparts.

Any objections?

yea should be fine

Should be fine, I also have just the one concern regarding the Athlon XP stage which I've sent you a PM about bossman

Is retail i7-5960X allowed?

Is retail i7-5960X allowed?

No , it was just releast.and as always hardware releast whyl a comp is running whil not be allowed

Haswell-E not allowed. I'll add that to the limitations.

How i submit hwbot prime whit snapdragon 800 and participe in team cup? i don know how

Let me know the URL and I'll fix it manually

Any reason I am doomed to not be able to do any submissions to the TC? Did I missed restrictions or sth. else to help out my team?

its just a testing score - but as I don't rely on sandbagging I want to properly add my results for the team...cup.

I just got an EVGA GF 610 and about to mod it - it is a waste of time anyway but might be fun if it helps us...

Solution to my problem posted here - yet it seems the submission pages for TC are (still) seriously bugged...

Could I please have this submission added to the competition?

http://hwbot.org/submission/2628976_mr.paco_hwbot_prime_tegra_4_t40x__%28wayne%29_1800mhz_2915_pps?recalculate=true

I do not see any way to submit it myself; normally a window would pop-up asking if I want to participate.

Also in the event I may better my score, must I have to ask to get it added again?

TIA...

Yup, added.

Please continue to give me heads ups for the competition scores. We are aware of the issues with the HWBOT Prime app and the Team Cup

Thank you ...

Decided to show my hand since I might be too busy to visit the PC over the next few weeks. I do hope that someone is going to be able to challenge this one http://hwbot.org/submission/2629811_obscureparadox_cpu_frequency_mobile_celeron_1.2ghz_4321.23_mhz

Did a bit better ; Please add this submission to the competition...

TIA..

Incredible amount of last minute submissions. Congrats to those that made the cut.

I never got my graphics cards back in time to get everything rebenched. Damn you uni!!!!!

Well done to everyone that has made the cut

I'm going over the results, and there are so many awesome scores

Still drooling over Stelaras' GF3 3DMark01. GF3 was the first card I ever benched ... such nice memories

yeah GF3 stage was nice =)

and i liked raspberry, too

nice competition

Congrats to XTREME OC Team Bulgaria, though Im very sad that you took our 5th place, when Im looking at your results I can only say that you really deserve it and it would be a pity if you cant compete for the champion. Outstanding AMD results, keep it up!

Greeks actually helped us Took some points from your team in the last hour and I could finally complete a 3dmark2000 run at stock with the 5th card I tried, then submit literally in the last minute.

It was tough with so many stages without a score.

Looking at my 3DMark 2000 score I realized it's invalid. Since it was in the last minute, I forgot to open the details screen.

If I calculate it right, we might still qualify for the 5th place - excluding the recent fgi's realbench score, minus 22pts from 3dmark2000. AwardFabrik moves one place up and gets additional 1pt in this stage.

However I can't check the realbench stage, because the page is crashing (java.lang.NullPointerException), so I'm not sure how many points we had before the cut, but if I remember correctly we were 5th even before my 3dmark 2000 score.

Can someone from the mods verify all scores of the top-5 teams? I'm not going to delete mine for now, to ensure the integrity of the rankings before the check.

Congrats to Bulgarian Team...

For me the 3D2000 from you is not a problem, would not remove...

Me personaly just jumped in to late to help the team, really sad, if I see how close it was...

Iirc it was around 6 points and I personally don't care about the details tab (in this case) and believe its a valid score.

so nothing wrong and congrats from here as well!

Couldn't get a good PCI card in time and the old singlestage was giving me a hard time - it was fun anyway!

Good luck to the 5 remaining teams during the final week!

PCI was a big problem for me as well. I tried everything with Zotac 610 PCI.

Fed it up externally from a HD4850 up to 1.4V and still didn't help, although it did 1300+ MHz for DX9 Heaven.

However, on DX11 I can only see the Benchmarking... text when the bench starts and that's it. Monitor goes into power saving mode.

I guess it can't handle the heavy tesselation, maybe the PCI bandwidth is too low for that kind of load?

External power helped finish DX9 (it was not completing either before the mod), but not with DX11. I guess it's not a coincidence everyone used that little Radeon.

Regarding the 3DMark 2000 it sure is a valid score, since everything was on stock, but there were cases competition scores had been removed for even smaller mistakes. I barely managed to finish it 4 min before the end, then make screenshot, photo, transfer from that rig to the other PC, upload..etc. But I really think we were 5th before that, so it doesn't really matter in that case, unless there are other invalid scores which can make a difference.

But I think we need a confirmation from the staff that all results are valid, because even a single invalid score from any team in the top 10 or so would change the final rankings. So we need to know ASAP if it's ok to bench for the remaining week, or need to stop right now.

Now , talking about that stage (DX11 pci) i would really like to know , how he managed this score , with a 512MB version PCI vga.

http://hwbot.org/submission/2635155

PCI Stage could have been soooo funny this week

Got this sucker some hours ago and my very special Foxconn Avenger (near 50 MHurtz PCI) ready...wish we could still bench for TC

If you could even get the thing to run a full run of Heaven that is

I just remarked lol....

~120 points in DX9 (still my fav) but no way it runs dx11...never got the point doing dx11 instead of 9 for the old cards...

...just to prove mfc's f*ck you up with drivers and support on cards like that??

STELARAS & I.NFRAR.ED and their respected teams ARE NOT HUMAN, they cant be...

Seriously though;

Congratulations & much respect :ws:.

It was my honor to run in this comp with you guys.

I still think the Greeks & Bulgarians are not human

Now back to grinding ...

Congrats to all who participated! This comp was insane and some really nice scores done from old school hardware. Much congrats to all my teammates at HWBOX you are the best

Also congrats to Xtreme Oc Team Bulgaria, really nice benching guys!

Excellent benching guys!!

Now give me a couple of days to digest and do a write up

Respect to Greeks and congrats.

I actually thought we would come a little closer.

I'm disappointed from myself, because I could do better in some (AMD) stages.

Congrats HwBox Hellas O/C Team!! next pro oc cup, I will cheer your team.

XTREME OC Team Bulgaria, Catch-up of the last 1 week was amazing, Congrats 2nd!

And Congrats all Participating team!

Hey guys,

Just a heads-up, Cooler Master is ready to get in touch with the winners it's just us who have been a bit slow on processing the Team Cup winners. Stay tuned!!

Any word on prizes?

These have not been send out yet?!

Time to kick some butt ...

Must have been some butt kicking, stuff arrived here today. Thank you.

Awesome, right in time for Christmas .

Happy holidays!

Apparently Cooler Master uses Santa for delivery. I guess it makes sense since he's going everywhere anyway this time of year.

Awesome
